Forsyth welcomes Ewart back from his travels in Mexico and states that he is enclosing a letter from Cecil about the ponies (which are in the process of being purchased by the Congested Districts Board). He makes arrangements to see Ewart.

McDonald writes that he does not think the pony has much chance of being sold as he is too light and not in good condition. He suggests dates for Ewart to visit him and see the ponies at camp.

Prawochenski thanks Ewart for his help and apologises for any trouble has has given him. He would be honoured to be included in the Royal Society of Edinburgh Proceedings along with his colleague Kaczkowski. He will be in London shortly to purchase some horses at the Royal Agricultural Society show and hopes perhaps to meet Ewart there.

Alexander writes concerning what money he would take for the sale of the filly, and invites Ewart to come and see his lambs. He adds that he has got a perfectly marked white calf from a pure fawn Jersey by the white bull.
